The dancing is exhausting, too. But it's all coming from a positive place and Dick has had plenty of negatives, including substance abuse, arrests and scandal.

Dick has had success on television before, including the ABC sitcom "Less than Perfect."

He's ready to try again.

"I have not appreciated my career and my life for so long," Dick said. "I took it for granted and I'm having this be my final go at it. I'm treating it like it's my final chance. I'm just going to go for the gusto."

He won't be going it alone.

"He's doing an amazing job," Burgess said. "He's working so, so hard and I really think he is going to shock everybody. He's got rhythm."
